1.  Massive social welfare programs
2.  Massive public sector and Beaurocracy
3.  Very high progressive taxation
4.  Very high property and sales taxes
5.  Many regulations of all businesses.


This is off the top of my head.  I live in NY and it sucks.  I am trying to leave this liberal hell-hole.

Hmm... OK, well actually I was poking for a mention of CA; which is in some deep shit - which some of its socialist endeavours have helped create.

Nope that would promote business, which promotes self reliance and personal freedom. Not exactly hallmarks of douchebag liberalism.

I don't understand why people associate what is good for big business is also good for all business. This is simply not true - if you promote big business you squeeze all the small players out of the market.
